Re: One eyed chicken?
I’ve been backing up the DE with wood ash in all their favourite dust bath spots outside and in. Given how dry the ground is here, those spots are like craters....if you fell in, it’d take you the better part of the day to climb out

Re: One eyed chicken?
Oh yes, mites and lice, that's another point to consider with special needs chickens...they rarely dustbathe, and need more parasite control than healthy birds.
I use pour-on Noromectin, 2-4 drops on bare skin, once every month or two. Kills the little nasty critters and regular application keeps new infestations from happening.

Re: One eyed chicken?
How about cleaning the cavity again, packing with antiseptic etc. and then trying Nexcare spray on or paint on wound covering. It stings but I like it for people easier than Band aid.
